Emotional Eating - Part 1
Emotional Eating (part 1):
I'm calling this part 1 as I assume it will not be the first or last post I put out on this topic!
Here are 3 ways to unpack, understand and apply new strategies to your emotional eating journey:
1. UNDERSTANDING
When we are born we are innately driven to seek food for comfort. We enter the world crying and are soothed with milk for a warm comforting source. Pure Love ❤️
As children this is REINFORCED! Have you ever been rewarded with food? Given a lollypop at the GP, given an ice-cream for passing grades in school? Has food been used to negotiate your behaviour? Behave for sweets, misbehave you won't get them?
These subconsciously make a HUGE impact in our relationship with food as adults.
2. UNPACK
Reflect on YOUR experiences in childhood - what food rules did you have to adhere to and how does this sit with you now?
3. APPLY!
Create a toolkit of alternative COPING STRATEGIES (aka Self Care!)
My Self Care Checklist
Build a toolkit of coping strategies to help you next time you would like to FEEL and PROCCESS an emotion, not just NUMB IT!
**NOTE! Sometimes the only thing for it is a TimTam or litre of ice cream! The goal here is not to eliminate emotional eating - that would be wildly unrealistic. The idea is to EXPLORE YOUR RELATIONSHIP with food & make choices YOU are comfortable with ❤️
When building your toolkit ask yourself the following questions:
Am I being compassionate with myself right now?
How can I validate this emotion?
Am I ready to FEEL this and hold space for this core emotion that has surfaced?
How can I HONOUR this emotion?
What self-care can I do to make me FEEL GOOD ABOUT ME!
If my mind can conceive it,
and my heart can believe it –
then I can achieve it.
